Daniel Marshall was taken at Pick 69 in the 1995 National Draft, this was the Blues second pick of the draft. He was originally recruited from Frankston YCW via TAC Cup Team Dandenong U/18's. He was delisted at the end of 1996 but played Carlton reserves in 1997 as a Supplementary List player.

Marshall was a strapping young key position player who played mostly in defence, but was also handy at reserve grade level as an undersized ruckman.
